I'm not sure that's the case - most of the NAS boxes out there are stripped down Linux boxes which should be perfectly capable of running a media server. Of course it depends on what the media server is trying to do.
The issue for me around this whole episode was that ReadyNAS was purported to be capable of running the software. It wasn't immediately apparent that this came with big caveats. The option to run with resized artwork was not workable for me - the artwork looked awful. I should note that I also ran for a period of time with the software running on a full PC. I still found the performance and responsiveness of the controller disappointing - I guess I have high expectations... Of course, that was when it was able to get a wireless signal.. -- cwinson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cwinson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17447 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48617 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
